As a rule of thumb, every 1 liter of UCO recycled into biodiesel prevents about 2.5 kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. Track your sales to see your positive impact grow!

The Future: Algae and Advanced Biofuels
The Future: Algae and Advanced Biofuels

Scientists are developing 'third-generation' biofuels from algae, which can be grown in non-arable land and yield far more oil per acre than traditional crops, promising an even more sustainable future.

Most modern diesel engines can run on B5 (5% biodiesel) without any modification. Many can even handle B20. Always check your vehicle's manual before using higher blends.

Titration: A Key Step for Producers
Titration: A Key Step for Producers

Biodiesel producers perform a titration test on UCO to measure its free fatty acid (FFA) content. This determines how much catalyst is needed for an efficient reaction.

What's that Smell?
What's that Smell?

The exhaust from a vehicle running on high-blend biodiesel often has a pleasant, slightly sweet smell, reminiscent of french fries or donuts, due to its plant-based origin!
